It's a shame that this movie gets generally overlooked due to the absence of Michael Myers. As its own thing, Halloween III is a suitably ridiculous piece of horror/sci-fi/mystery cheese that deserb s more love dammit!
It has the always reliable Tom Atkins in the lead role, Dan O'Herlihy as this movies James Bond level villain, some pretty fun gory moments, a sub plot that has something to do with Stonehenge, a wonderful music score from John Carpenter and Alan Howarth (ignoring that truly grating Silver Shamrock jingle), and a mostly solid mystery narrative. There's a lot to love here that unfortunately get buried under nothing more than its title.

Explosively Good
A fun, bloody love story. Quite an odd concept, definitely more a Rom-Com with an explosive twist. Students at a high school in their final year start combusting at random. Never knowing how long they will live does this change their perspective on life.
The film is very likable, very witty with some funny exchanges and the relationship feels very genuine for the likable duo. It's bloody without being overly gory for people exploding. The only down side the film seemed to lose it's direction a little bit in the final third. Overall though a fun and quirky, Rom-Com with a difference.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
All hell breaks loose when a strange force animates the puppets up for auction at a convention, setting them on a bloody killing spree that’s motivated by an evil as old as time in Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. which was recently shown at the Fractured Visions Film Festival.
I remember many years ago, in those days of VHS back in the 80s/90s seeing the first Puppet Master movie, it was one of the movies that I loved, not for just the slightly gory bits, but also for the way that the puppets were created and animated on the screen, via stop-frame animation and practical effects as well.

As good as the book
I'll be honest and say I thought the book was good but nothing spectacular, and I'm afraid this follows suit.
I'll give it extra kudos for being so very true to the book, however like the book, it drags on and there's a little too much talking and thinking to the point where it was getting a bit boring. There was however great performances from such a small cast and they really did fit the characters well.
The gory gruesome aspects were truly horrific (in a good way), but I think it could've been so much scarier. The ending too although very good and very King, doesn't have as much of an impact here as it does in the book.

Great cast (4 more)
Good cameos
Cool killer outfit
Surprisingly gory
Funny at times
Will make you Scream.... For one reason or another!
A gave this a whirl as the cast was impressive and a fan of Slasher films. This is a very bizarre series definitely more at the comedy side than horror. Featuring true Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis and Emma Roberts of @Scream 4. Almost like a spoof at times. Try thinking of a mix of Clueless, Mean Girls, Scream and Scary Movie. The spoilt rich kid humour won't be for all but the Killer wouldn't look out of place in a real Slasher film and there are a variety of ways he bumps off the brats.

Very original thriller
A very good thriller that uses a time loop to good effect. It's not particularly gory or scary, but the deserted ship does make a creepy location for this type of film. Quite a few seem to find it hard to follow, I thought it was a lot easier than say Memento to understand first time round. True it can be a bit open for you to draw your own conclusion by the end of what and why it's happening, but the clues are there. They maybe one or two plot holes by the end, but nothing major that spoils the effect of the film. Overall a good thriller, different to the norm, that most will enjoy figuring out.

Camp stalk and slash with a twist
Tonight's viewing was this little gem with a really cool new premise. Guy wakes up covered in blood surrounded by dead camp counsellors and with the help of his horror geek friend periodically pieces together the events of the night and slowly realises that he might have actually caused the deaths. Really great idea and some really good gory deaths including one chopped in half head and possibly one of the best horror movie masks ever. Had some pacing issues and my attention started to drift about two thirds in but came together with a good ending. So all in all well worth a watch.

Entertaining
Well, this movie was better than expected. A good ghost story for a dark night. The acting and cinematography were very well done. The story didn't take long getting to the "meat" of the plot. It unfolded well and kept me anticipating the next scene. I didn't expect the ending to be so... "simple" but it didn't take away from the entertainment value. This one also isn't too gory or anything for the younger movie watchers(though maybe not the REALLY young ones) in the family. Good for a family "scary movie night". If you do those sort of movie nights. Speaking of kids, the child actors in this movie did a fantastic job. This one is really worth a watch!
